Harlem Explosion Kills At least 3

On Wednesday, March 12, 2014, a gas leak triggered an explosion in Harlem, New York.

The explosion destroyed two buildings, injuring over 50 people and killing at least 3.

According to authorities, approximately 10 people are still missing.

Mayor Bill de Blasio expressed his sympathy at a news conference on Wednesday morning, "..this is a tragedy of the worst kind, because there was no indication in time to save people."

This explosion was said to tremble buildings even miles away, blowing out windows in neighboring apartments and also causing damage to nearby streets.

Victims not only included people in the homes that exploded, but also people in the surrounding areas being trapped in their cars and also in their homes due to the debris.

The fire department reported receiving their first call at 9:31 am.

Even after the explosion, firefighters (assisted by dogs), scurried through the burning buildings trying to discover more survivors.

The injured included both children and adults.

Some with minor injuries such as bruises and lacerations. Unfortunately, all survivors weren't so fortunate.

There were victims getting pulled from collapsed bricks who experienced broken bones and head wounds.

Thankfully enough, no more dead bodies have been found as of yet, keeping the hope alive that the calculated missing people are just out of reach.
